1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
This is a rare 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible with bucket seats. The car runs and drives. I just spent 2500 dollars on carb rebuild and new brakes and a couple of other items. Please view all pictures and ask questions on anything and everything. The cars needs much work but for a few grand more you could have a decent very cool driver. The pictures make the car look better than it is to be honest. The panels are pretty darn straight but it will need a full paint job if you wish to have a shiny vehicle. There is a rust bubble on the right rear fender well. The rest of the body is fairly clean minus a ding or two. The bumpers have some rust as shown. The convertible top does not work. The motor turns and spins but does not engage the clamps above the windshield. The top is in very nice shape minus the rear window trim area which is coming apart but should not leak. The front power windows work including the quarter windows, the other windows do not. There are missing parts on the interior as shown in photos. Windows don't line up exact just based on the rear windows not working. The tail lights are not working or brake lights. I am sure this is an easy fix but cannot access since the trunk will not go up based on previous top comment. As mentioned it is a rare set up but this would be a better weekend cruiser than a full restoration vehicle as the cost would be astronomical. Items to address would be top, windows, lights then you could tinker and adjust thereafter. I have a box of little items such as the ashtray etc...There are alot of things that need tightening etc...so I hopefully think you get the picture.
As mentioned it runs and drives straight down the road and will make a cool driving, eye catching convertible with a little work but I am trying to give an accurate description so I won't get a "hey, I anticipated a really nice car and it is not". On May-18-14 at 11:41:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Lots of questions. When I say full restoration I am speaking in terms of any classic. I have a beautiful 58 356a but to put to museum is astronomical. This car with paint, top etc would look fantastic as panels etc are very nice but just want to inform. It is not the condition that some of these 20k convertibles are but with about 5-7 it would be. My reserve is much lower than that as to afford the new owner opportunity for growth. I am taking a bath on this as the individual I bought it off of told me all worked. I would rather not invest any more money in it My reserve is half of what I paid and is worth it. |

Company veterans promoted to set a course for the future of Ford
Wed, Apr 10 2019Ford on Wednesday named two company veterans to lead its auto and mobility businesses as the No. 2 U.S. automaker shifts its focus to autonomous vehicles and realigns its automobile portfolio. Joe Hinrichs was named president of Ford's automotive unit, and Jim Farley will be president, new businesses, technology and strategy, effective May 1. Both will report to Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett. Hinrichs' goal will be a sustainable EBIT margin (earnings before interest and taxes) of at least 8 percent, Ford said. He'll have responsibility for all of Ford's global business units, and both the Ford and Lincoln brands. And he'll lead all of the automotive skills teams, from product development through customer experience. "Joe Hinrichs possesses the knowledge, experience and leadership to now take our Automotive business to world-class levels of product excellence, customer satisfaction, efficiency and financial performance," Hackett said. "As we enter a busy period for new product launches and further restructuring in underperforming markets, Joe's leadership in transforming businesses through focused execution will be key." Farley is charged with leading Ford's strategic transformation, in which it hopes to gain higher margins through smart/connected vehicles. He'll oversee corporate strategy, global data analytics, global partnerships, research and advanced engineering, including initiatives in smart mobility and autonomous vehicles. "Jim Farley's job is to drive us into the future, both strategically and operationally, from AVs to mobility experiences to leveraging AI and big data. Jim combines an innate feel for what customers want and need in vehicles and the ability to translate this into the vehicles and services of the future," Hackett said. Marcy Klevorn, president of Ford Mobility, plans to retire Oct. 1 after 36 years at Ford. Until then, she will report to Hackett in a strategic role. "I have asked Marcy to work with me and the senior team to accelerate our transformation," Hackett said. "Marcy's decades of experience working with many of the leading companies in the tech space as well as the work she has done with the transformation of Ford IT and the establishment of Ford Mobility gives her unique knowledge to drive these initiatives."
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

High-tech, remote-controlled Golden Sahara II custom car going for auction
Mon, Mar 19 2018Imagine a vehicle with automatic braking, remote operation, self-opening doors and a big screen on the dash. You're probably imaging a Tesla Model X, but we're actually talking about a car called the Golden Sahara II, a custom car originally built in the 1950s, and it's going for auction at Mecum's event in Indianapolis. According to Mecum, this custom car started out as a 1953 Lincoln Capri owned by George Barris, the man who created the original Batmobile. He didn't have it long before it ended up in a crash that led him to use it for a major custom project. He teamed up James Skonzakes, known as Jim Street, to create and pay for the build. In 1954, the car was finished with wild body work, actual 24-karat gold-plated exterior trim and a pearlescent gold paint created from fish scales. It carried the name of Golden Sahara, and it cost $25,000 to build. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In 1956, Street decided to invest a whole lot more into the car. He sent it to a shop in Dayton, Ohio where it was fitted with a myriad of high-tech features. These included a central control stick that could operate the throttle, steering and braking, push-button steering controls on the dashboard for both the driver and the passenger, a remote control for moving it slowly and for opening the doors. It had sonar antennae at the front for automatic braking, a TV in the center stack, a radio, a phone, and even a cocktail cabinet in the back and mink carpeting. All of these features were on display when Street appeared with the car on the TV show I've Got a Secret, seen above, as well as in a period news story in which Street's wife demonstrated the features including the light-up wheels and tires for turn signals. That clip is visible below. The total cost of the car, now called Golden Sahara II, was $75,000. Adjusted for inflation, that's nearly $700,000. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Eventually, Street stopped showing the Golden Sahara II, but he never got rid of it. It was recently found in his garage, and the car will finally go for auction in May at Mecum's Indianapolis auction. The car will be sold in unrestored condition, which looks to be fairly rough, but savable. It appears the remotes are still there, too. The car will be auctioned with no reserve, so it will have a new owner.
